Investing involves risk, including loss of principal. There is no guarantee that this, or any, investing strategy will be successful. Investments in international market present special risks including currency fluctuation, the potential for diplomatic and political instability, regulatory and liquidity risks, foreign taxation and differences in auditing and other financial standards. Value investing involves the risk that an investment made in undervalued securities may not appreciate in value as anticipated or remain undervalued for long periods of time. Because the Fund does not invest in companies that do not meet its ESG criteria, and the Fund may sell portfolio companies that subsequently violate its screens, the Fund may be riskier than other mutual funds that invest in a broader array of securities.

The gross expense ratio of the Fund’s investor class is 1.47%, and the institutional class is 1.22%; the net expense ratio after contractual fee waivers through January 31, 2021 is 1.25% and 1.06%. The Fund’s ninety day redemption fee is 2.00%.
